Report Blames Boeing – level 1

13-03-2020 15:00

A report comes out about the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashes last year. The plane is a Boeing 737 Max plane. The crash kills everyone on board.

That crash happens several months after an Indonesian airline plane crashes. It is also a Boeing 737 Max plane. That crash also kills everyone on board. Both planes are new when they crash.

The Ethiopian plane has an automated safety feature. It can make the plane fly. It does not let the plane stall when it flies. The report says that the safety feature does not work. The Indonesian airline also has this safety feature.

Difficult words: on board (inside of an airplane or a ship), automated safety feature (a special system that turns on by itself to keep something safe), stall (to stop suddenly).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
